Tim’s football team has won their last game against Grossmont High School and are now ranked 10-0! This has been a big accomplishment for the El Cap Football Team. Unfortunately, the coach was out for the win and didn’t want to take any chances of losing during this close and tight game. So Tim wasn’t put in at all. Why? I’m not sure. Each time the coach has put Tim on the Special Teams position he’s tackled the Receiver before the 15-20 yard line. At the last game prior to this, Tim was put into the game in the last 9 minutes covering the Safety position and made a Huge tackle instantly and helped keep the opposing team between the 5 yard line and Goal. Not sure why the coach is determined to play mostly 1st string players for the whole game and a few of those players have been playing both offense and defense. A few of our top players have been seriously hurt because they’ve played through the game, even when El Cap was leading tremendously. With so many kids on the team…you’d think he’d train others to be effective backups and try to continously rotate them in to give them the practice and experience of playing too. Well, I guess its not about playing all the kids….it’s about Winning the Game. This sport has been a real eye opener for me, compared to Wrestling and I’ll share my comparison once the Playoffs are done. From what I’ve been told, There are 2 playoff Games and then the Final CIF Championship Game is at the Statdium. So keep your fingers crossed for El Cap to be able to go to the Championship Game this year. Wouldn’t that be Awesome!!!!

Have to high five the coach for taking all the boys out to a Special dinner last night to acknowledge their hard work and accomplishment this year. It meant a lot to Tim and I’m sure the other team players too.
